Datascope Recalls Custom Neonatal ECC Tubing Kits Due to Seal Defect

Datascope is recalling seven custom neonatal ECMO tubing kits because a seal defect may allow air entry, potentially causing a drop in blood flow.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a medical device defect that may cause a drop in ECMO circuit blood flow, a significant injury risk, which aligns with the criteria for a Severe (Score 4) classification.

Plain-English summary

Datascope Corporation is recalling seven units of the BEQ-TOP 50900 Custom ECC Pack-Neonatal 1/4, Custom Tubing Kit, Catalog No. 709000069R02. The affected units are identified by Lot 3000061507. These devices were distributed to accounts in Alabama, Arkansas, California, the District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Texas, and Washington.

The recall is due to a defect in the Better Bladder device included in the kits. A seal separation from the housing may allow air to enter the housing and collapse the balloon. This failure may increase resistance to flow in the venous line and cause a drop in ECMO circuit blood flow.

Healthcare facilities and consumers who possess these specific custom tubing kits should stop using them and contact Datascope Corporation for instructions on return or replacement.
